Today is the 19th Anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. So, what better way to celebrate than with a humorous Obvious Denial Outtake? ;)

First off, I need to thank MissRissa81 for all her help. She listens to me whine, brainstorms with me and is overall the very best cheerleader ever!

Another huge thank you to Freya Ishtar, who is an amazing writer over on fanfiction.net! You *need* to go check her out. I’ve lost more sleep reading her stories than I have in awhile. No joke. You can also find her on facebook here.

Anyways, thank you to her for the generous use of her word-“pluffle”. You’ll understand when you read, I promise you. But she graciously allowed me use of it and it’s so perfect I can’t even tell you.

So…without even further ado…click the pic below to go right to the newest outtake or you can click on the Obvious Denial banner to go to the series home page. Either or. :)

So hopefully you enjoy. Don’t forget all the people (don’t even try to tell me they’re fictional and therefore don’t count!) that we lost 19 years ago today.

You get either a coffee flavor or candle scent (this one is coffee, specifically cinnamon hazelnut), a character or pairing (this one is James/Lily) and a word or two (these happen to be breeze and cake).

So hopefully you like this little thing I threw together in a matter of hours, almost no going over it and definitely no beta. So forgive me any mistakes. I also tried my hand at those nifty collage things I see everywhere in the fandom…not so sure I pulled it off, but….I did my best on the little sleep I got last night.

So without further ado, click the banner/collage/pic/whatever you want to call it to go to the one shot. Enjoy!

Oh and be on the lookout for more little one shot kinda things like these….I’m finding that they’re working to get the creative juices flowing again so….here’s hoping!

So, here’s the thing. My brain has not been working. Like at all. It’s taken massive amounts of time and energy and coaxing from MissRissa to get me to work on my fics. But we decided that posting what I’ve got would be beneficial since you’re reviews and the fact that you’re reading inspire me immensely.

So I’m bringing you the beginnings of two new HP fics.

The first is Warriors. It’s a complete AU with a Dark!Hermione. It’s also got multiple pairings. So follow the banner below to go to the story homepage. I’ve got 2 chapters up so far and more in the works.

The second is Not Nott. It’s a canon divergent that ignores the epilogue. This one is a straight Dramione and I’ve got 2 chapters up so far. So follow the banner to go to the story homepage.

So there isn’t a posting schedule and I’m sorry for that. I was hoping to wait until I had the entire story written before posting but that didn’t pan out. So there will probably be delays between chapters, but hopefully you enjoy anyways.

Oh, and I have fixed the comments! Every time I come back to wordpress, things are slightly different and I have to get used to it again.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, etc, you know how to get in touch. Thanks lovelies and happy reading!

So I started a little Harry Potter drabble series. It’s all about Hermione showing off her Christmas movie collection to her magical friends and family. Seriously, that’s it.

They’re short (or going to be, since there is currently a total of 1 done) and I have no schedule for writing these. It’s pretty much whenever the mood hits. So hey, it could be July when more get done, although I am trying to work on more now.

So, there’s not really much else to say. So I guess head on over to the collection home page here…

Or you can go straight to the one that I’ve written here…

And if any of these movies are ones you particularly love and I insult them, I’m sorry. I have such fun picking things apart. :)

I haven’t died and I’m back….kinda. This is a special post just for MissRissa81’s birthday. I’ve been seriously swamped in the last…year?? God, has it been that long??

We’ve moved and my muse has up and packed her shit. So I’ve been kinda plodding along but it’s extremely slow going. So apologies for that.

In the meantime, here’s a Dramione (Draco and Hermione, for those of you not in the know) one shot just for MissRissa81.

Hope y’all enjoy and hopefully I’ll be back to posting more regularly. Adios!

*Edit* I literally knocked this out in about 2 hours today (horribly sad, I know) and therefore there’s been no editing whatsoever. I’ll get around to it eventually but until then, forgive any drastic mistakes. :)

Like this:

Hola my darlings! I do have a new chapter of The Dark Arts for you, as promised. However, there’s something I need to do before I get to all of that.

As I mentioned before MissRissa and I are working on a couple pretty involved stories. Well, I actually started one over the last week. We thought it might be fun to do something different for a change, so that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a fanartist willing to illustrate our new fic. :) There are logistics to be worked out, but I’m hoping that by starting the search early, we won’t have to rush whoever we find.

So reblog, pass the message, shout it from the metaphorical rooftops-if you (or anyone) is interested and wants more info, just shoot me an email to kelpieskorner@gmail.com.

Whew! Okay, that’s done. And now onto the new chapter for you!

Fair warning, there’s no visuals. I know it actually doesn’t bother many, if any, of you but I am weirdly OCD and love visuals in my stories. (Uh, hello?!? The beginning of this post??) So I figured I’d warn you.

And another fair warning, chapter 5 is NOT done yet. That’s an extremely trying chapter to write and it’s taking longer than I would like. But I’m plugging away. But I also can’t really give you a definite time that I’ll post. Sorry. I’m working on some other small stuff, one shots and such, as well as our new epic. But Dark Arts is still up high on my priority list.

So, without further ado, here is the newest chapter of The Dark Arts. As always the banner will take you to the story home page and the link will take you directly to the new stuff.

Like this:

So yeah, I had this done for awhile, though in my defense I did believe I’d already posted it. I have no idea why. Probably because I also have chapter 4 done as well….

…also in my defense, MissRissa and I fleshed out this story to the end so as long as I have *time* to write, it shouldn’t be quite so long between chapters. Plus we also have 2 brand new stories in the works which are already ridiculously fleshed out to the point where I have half the damn things written in my head.

Yeah. We’re cool like that. ;)

So, here is the next chapter of Dark Arts. Before I let you go, remember this is unbeta’d and dealing with a dark subject matter. So it can be trigger-y. Consider yourself warned. And now…

Banner goes to the home page and link goes to the chapter. Like I really need to tell y’all anymore. :)
